Michigan Draft
The metapolitefsi at 30: Why is Greece Becoming Harder to Govern? Kevin Featherstone, Director, Hellenic Observatory London School of Economics and Political Science, UK. Lecture delivered at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor 3rd Annual Pallas Lecture in Modern Greek Studies 17 February, 2005 Michigan League Greece is a fascinating political system to consider for a variety of reasons. Within the context of Europe, it raises a number of important questions about the relationship between the European Union and its member states. The argument I wish to put forward in this lecture is the following. Domestic change in Greece has, in some basic aspects, been tremendous. Politically, Greece since 1974 has made a profound transition from dictatorship to parliamentary democracy. The Third Greek Republic combines a number of very important attributes, not least that it is the most inclusive and legitimate political regime modern Greece has ever known. However, within the process of this transition, there are fundamental questions about the governability of Greece that affect the capacity of the economy and society to adapt to external pressures. Many of the endemic traits of Greek society that have historically weakened the Greek state remain, albeit often in new forms and with new additions. These traits limit the liberalization of the State and society. In addition, however, the internal sources of weakness have been confronted by a new source of pressure that is both deep and broad in nature: the impact of European Union membership and a process of regional integration that has moved well beyond that originally envisaged when Greece joined the Community (as it was then called) in 1981.

Koliastasis P Phd 280714.Pdf
Title The permanent campaign strategy of Greek Prime Ministers (1996–2011) Candidate Panagiotis Koliastasis Degree This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 4 Abstract Various academic authors have analysed the implementation, the causes and the impact of the permanent campaign strategy by political executives in presidential and parliamentary systems, notably the United States and United Kingdom. This study builds on this literature and extends the research on the permanent campaign in the European parliamentary majoritarian context by examining contemporary Greece as a national case study. In particular, the study addresses three questions. First, did contemporary Greek Prime Ministers adopt the permanent campaign strategy? Second, why did they do so? Third, what impact did the implementation of the permanent campaign have on their public approval? The research focuses on the cases of three successive Prime Ministers in Greece: Costas Simitis (1996–2004), Kostas Karamanlis (2004–2009) and George Papandreou (2009-2011). Simitis and Papandreou were leaders of the centre-left PASOK, while Karamanlis was the leader of the centre-right New Democracy. The study finds that all three Prime Ministers undertook the permanent campaign strategy in order to maintain public approval, aligning themselves with their British and American counterparts. They established new communication units within the primeministerial apparatus, consulted with communication professionals to form a coherent communication

1 Reforms and Collective Action in a Clientelist Party System: Greece
Reforms and collective action in a clientelist party system: Greece during the Mitsotakis administration (1990-1993)* Aris Trantidis ABSTRACT: Economic reforms face a collective action problem: they trigger the reaction of groups that expect significant losses, while the anticipated gains are often dispersed across the population and too uncertain to animate strong popular support. This pattern may exhibit different characteristics in a clientelist economy where the affected groups are client groups under the protection of political parties. The reform agenda of the Mitsotakis government in Greece (1990-1993) illustrates that the collective action problem affects primarily the internal structure of the clientelist parties and thereby their capacity for political mobilisation. Reforms that depart from the established political equilibrium on economic policy will undermine the internal cohesion of the government party and will offer the opposition party the opportunity to strengthen its own unity and political mobilisation capacity. * This is a draft earlier version of the eponymous article, published in the Journal of South European Society and Politics, 2014, Volume 19, Issue 2, pp. 215-243. Key words: economic reforms, clientelism, political cost, collective action, crisis, Greece Interest groups compete and lobby around the allocation of the benefits and costs of reforms initiated by the government (Alesina and Drazen 1991; Geddes 1994; Heller, Keefer and McCubbins, 1998; Schamis 1999). These groups often act as veto players effectively delaying or blocking reform initiatives (Haggard 2000:28; Tsebelis 2002). Depending on the institutional setting, the government may enjoy a degree of autonomy from group pressures and some room for manoeuvre around the options of co-optation, re-alignment, compromise and compensation (C.f.

New Elections in Greece Seem Increasingly Likely, Further Damaging the Country’S Credibility
blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2012/05/10/greek-election-result-new-elections-june/ New elections in Greece seem increasingly likely, further damaging the country’s credibility May 10 2012 Sofia Vasilopoulou and Daphne Halikiopoulou reflect on last week’s elections in Greece, finding that voters have deserted the more centrist parties that have been popular in the past, in favour of parties on the extreme right and left. Divisions between parties over Greece’s bailout and austerity mean that the formation of a coalition government is unlikely; new elections in June are now a strong possibility. The results of last week’s elections in Greece have been inconclusive, with no party being able to form a government or cobble together a coalition. As a second election is now looking increasingly likely, the Greek electorate faces the following dilemma: either to vote for the centre-left Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) party or the centre-right New Democracy party (ND), both of whose ideologies are mainstream and respectable but the parties themselves are closely associated with clientelism, favouritism and stagnation; or the fringe parties which are not closely linked to clientelism but whose radical and/or extreme positions could play dangerous games with Greece’s future. Punishment is necessary. After all accountability should be a defining feature of any democracy. But at the same time, the Greek people must look ahead and vote with ensuring a viable future in mind. Unfortunately this catch 22 defines the Greek choice. The electoral result of May 6th shook some of the main pillars of the post- 1974 Greek political system, breaking down the two-party domination of the political scene.

Acordurile De La Bretton Woods
Acordurile de la Bretton Woods Reprezentati ai celor doua mari puteri aliate, Marea Britanie si SUA, au inceput sa se gândeasca, inca din timpul celui de-al Doilea Razboi Mondial (anii 1940-41) la arhitectura sistemului financiar international pentru perioada postbelica. Lectiile perioadei interbelice erau: cursurile de schimb fluctuante produc instabilitate excesiva; miscarile de capital necontrolate cauzeaza si ele perturbatii mari; este nevoie de un cadru care sa favorizeze comertul international si sa evite razboaiele comerciale. La aceste constatari s-a adaugat un motiv suplimentar serios si anume nevoia acuta de refacere economica, de reconstructie dupa un razboi care se dovedea a fi devastator pentru beligeranti. Lectiile erau clare si, totusi, punctele de vedere intre cele doua delegatii nu erau identice. Americanii, prin vocea mai ales a oficialului Departamentului Trezoreriei, Harry Dexter White, pleda pentru stabilitatea (fixitatea) cursurilor de schimb si fluxuri comerciale si de capital libere; era vorba de o pozitie ce reflecta forta economiei americane in preajma si dupa al Doilea Razboi Mondial, ca si interesele sale specifice. În schimb, britanicii, aflati sub bagheta intelectuala a marelui economist John Maynard Keynes (poate cel mai influent economist al secolului XX), gândeau prin prisma unei viziuni mai aproape de realitatea economica a Europei, la acel moment, un continent distrus de razboi, unde guvernele aveau nevoie de un numar cât mai ridicat de mijloace, pentru a lupta cu eventuale dezechilibre externe mari, fiind preocupate si de costurile ajustarii pentru o populatie istovita. Planul Keynes accentua nevoia de stabilitate a cursurilor de schimb si de dezvoltare a relatiilor comerciale, dar prevedea “cursuri ajustabile” si posibilitatea de a impune restrictii comerciale si controale asupra miscarilor de capital, in anumite circumstante.

Antonis KAMARAS Research Associate, ELIAMEP Summary • This Policy Paper will argue that it is imperative, for Greek national defence, to develop defence studies in Greek universities and think tanks. • Among other reasons, post-junta aversion in Greek universities to the military and acceptance of secrecy relating to issues of national security have severely inhibited the development of defence studies and of defence-related dialogue in Greece. • In turn, the lack of a well-developed defence studies discipline in Greece has benefited status quo forces and thus contributed to the delay of the modernisation of Greece’s armed forces; has impoverished public debate on national defence, thus being a factor to the public’s unawareness of the erosion of the nation’s military deterrence; has denied Greece’s civilian and military leadership of innovative, defence-related intellectual input.
